  • I'm having fun with the Fimi X8 SE 2022. This flight was made in October of 22. You'll get a look at a different part of the Lucky Peak reservoir system than you've seen in the past. This is the best camera that I've seen on a Fimi drone. Here is my affiliate link for the Fimi X8 SE: www.banggood.c...

    Hi Marcus, nice flight with your Fimi X8 SE 2022. It would be nice if Fimi added a histogram to the app, and a better camera in future models would be appreciated. IMO you would be very happy getting the $299 Fimi TX10 smart controller. It has many more desirable features than the DJI RC and is a perfect companion for the Fimi X8 SE 2022. While we love and enjoy our DJI and Autel drones, there is always a place in the fleet for the Fimi X8 SE 2022. It's a pilots drone for sure.

    @mick_6006 Před rokem +1

    You really do live in a very scenic part of the world and the camera looks as good as most would ever need.
    I think what may have happened with the lower RTH was perhaps when trying to yaw when the signal was lost, you probably had a little decent also and the fimi being the fimi does everything fast and of course you couldn't tell. Hindsight is wonderful I know but I think in that position, I'd have either gone straight into RTH on the controller or if feeling brave done a straight backwards manoeuvre on the sticks rather than attempt a turn when blind. Of the 2 I think the RTH switch would have won out.
    If it was a mistake, we all make them but if you do it on a video we can all learn from it rather than only being able to learn from our own. I think on my SE 2020 I'll be dumbing down the response on the vertical stick!!
    Thanks again for a great video in your lovely part of the world.

  • @FredHarvey-wp2qy
    @FredHarvey-wp2qy Před rokem +1

    I'm jealous of the that beautiful, rugged terrain that you have near you. I do have a procedural question. Max legal altitude is 400 feet above ground level. When you are in hilly terrain, isn't that referenced to the highest obstacle around you, not your take off altitude? Couldn't you have legally gone 400' above the mesas that you flew over?
    Thanks for another fun video?

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před rokem

      Yes, you certainly can. For that reason some set their height limit higher than 400ft.

  • @RonaldBrown59
    @RonaldBrown59 Před rokem +1

    Very scenic area to fly, but the camera really overexposed much of video. I saw the same thing in your last Fimi video, the camera doesn’t seem to compensate for the wide open 1.7 aperture lens. And I never hear anyone talk about ND filters for the Fimi, which would probably help. When you had those disconnects and drone lowered itself, that was a big alarming. Great video Marcus, thanks for sharing.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před rokem +1

      Thank you, Ron. I have a feeling that I inadvertently descended on the return. Point taken on the over exposure.

  • @nightwaves3203
    @nightwaves3203 Před rokem +2

    I consider max RTH mandatory going up slopes and needing to know when your height above ground is past RTH height. Lose connection and the drone descends into the ground with lost signal. So nurse the RTH height going up slopes to avoid crashing while waiting for a reconnect. Not that hard right. Mind the drones AGL and adjust RTH accordingly if hanging around.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před rokem

      Thank you. Evidently, I lowered altitude on the first RTH. On the second one the drone remained at its current height. Thank you.

    • @nightwaves3203
      @nightwaves3203 Před rokem +1

      @@IdahoQuadcopter Could be the software picks thee higher or current altitude and RTH. Designers could of taken into account some guys push their luck going over and around obstacles. You could from start of flying have RTH lower than flown and see if the drone descends. Any excuse to fly it :)

    Hey Marcus. It looks like on auto RTH it drops to the selected RTH height. (following the data on the screen recording) But when you do a command RTH it did not drop in height. Just an observation. I might take a drive to Robie Creek and get some footage but I think I want to be on one of the bluffs rather than in the bottom. I have driven to the point you see in the video at 7:13 where you can just see a road to the left. (similar to Celebration point location.) I just finished a video of Jerusalem road which publishes on Tuesday. (I'll have to look into the permit thing.) Thanks for the video.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před rokem

      Yeah, I need to mess around with the drone and get that all figured out. The important thing is to get that RTH height set correctly. I need to remember to hit that check mark. Thank you!
